NO TEMPORIZING.

In the third place, whoever admits
gambling to be a vice cannot, with any sort
of consistency, temporize with it. To toll
crate gambling and accept its wages in sup
port of a community, is to foster all forms
of it. Wherever this has been attempted
such has been the result" regulation" So
called, is invariably stimulant to gaming
From license of the gaming-table to the
promotion of the lottery is but half step.
This is proved even now, for the same
arguments to-day used in support of the
proposition before the Legislature to license
gambling, are advanced boldly and I'M
blushingly in favor of lotteries-the worst
and most pernicious form of gambling
known. Hence we have, contemporaneous
with the effort of gamblers to secure recog-
milton before the law, an effort also made to
defy the Constitution and give rein to pol
icy shops.
These efforts may be viewed with alarm
by all who have given the study of civiliza-
ton and human progress any considerable
thought. Error never lacks for an advo-
cate, and as rule he is willy, plausible and
fights from behind protest that he is op-
posed heart and soul, to the vice, but de-
spairing of success in killing it, as mere
matter of policy advises losing Its bonds
entirely. As matter of fact, he who be-
HeNeS III the IlSnt never ueSpdlIS tueTe is
for him no such word as fail human pro-
gress and the sweep of advancing civiliza-
ton teach him that the short road to reform
is the direct one; that refornris not the re-
suit of an hour, a year or decades of effort
it may perhaps involve an age; but I'M
less humanity is in decadence, virtue lie
and civilization mockery, the evolution
of the right is certain. Any worthy citi-
ZenS who propose to license gambling are
simply shortsighted; we don not assail their
motives; they simply limit their compre-
hension of duty to the sphere within
which they may see results. Those who
believe reforms never do and never can go
backward, look beyond the period of their
own activity, to legacies to be left their
children and their children's children.
With them there is no such thing as COM
promise with that which debases, demoral-
ICES and struggles to turn the wheels of
progress backward.

DEMoRALIzE THE PEOPLE.


1t would have been better for
the State if the Legislature had
voted the library half a million
dollars, than TO authorize it to raise money
as it did. The Ls5islat re is pro-
hibited by the Constitution from doing
either, and il did that which was most
ruinous to the people"
The same day Tor the next the Bee,
now advocating the legalizing Of faro, lot
terry, rouge ct noir, and other devices to
blacken souls, ruin characters, and fatten
graves with blasted lives, quoted the Spec
tator with approval in its scorching con-
demnation of legalized gambling I'VE

article thus Endorsed in full, but well re-
member it..
November 5, 1870, the Bee again raped
the lottery swindle over the knuckles, and
the same day quoted the Monitor that THE
experience of the past few days proves that
the spirit OF gambling is one of unmixed
evil" and that lotteries are :" a nuisance,
appealing to the worst passions in the hui
man breast q 3 and create unhealthy
excitement" Our contemporary, the Bee,
added, Has our contemporary nothing
but praise for those who let this dragon
loose upon the peopie?" Evidently if the
grave could give up its dead, our cratic
neighbor would not to-day be urging the
Legislature 10 ''let the dragon loose upon
the people" The dragon played such
havoc in 1870, that none who remember
his advent desire repetition of it.
